The Lateran Treaty ended the longstanding feud between the Kingdom of Italy and the Papacy over the sovereignty of the latter within the former. The treaty gave the Vatican City to the Papacy--a separate city-state headed by the pope within the city of Rome itself--as well as compensation to the papacy by the Italian government for the loss of the territory within the papal states.
